m466B - v4 -

[Mr_P]

Hi,
I tried this m466 on a retina macbook over ML (Mac OS 10.8.6),
with a thunderbolt to Ethernet adaptor,
I got a recurring "Network output error -1" like if it doesn't recognize the Ethernet port. - ie whatever adaptor
The rest seemed to work pretty well.

Exact same setup on m364 worked like a charm, including ArtNET input/output.

Ignore that...
Network / Artnet connectivity should still work. However, due to the network library changes, The Catalyst Control window only shows information for network port en0 (compared to any versions prior to m466)

en0 is the first physical network port on a Mac. However, this varies depending on the Mac hardware (MacBook / Mac-Mini / MacPro)
On a MacBook, en0 is the wi-fi adaptor
on a Mac-Mini and MacPro its the Rj45 port

If you are using a Thunderbolt-ethernet or USB to Ethernet adaptor, it will probably appear as en1 on a MacBook

However - the port id doesn't matter - so long as the IP address and Subnet are valid, it should work fine for both Artnet input and output.

Is this m466 release supposed to be compatible with 10.8 ?

I will try next week the same setup on 10.9 and I'll tell you.

m466 works fine in both instances on MacPro 5,1 OS 10.6.8 / 10.8.5 / 10.9.2
and MacPro 6,1 OS 10.9.2

No, m466 is mavericks only to my knowledge, network library or something is different. So 364 will give you that same error on mavericks and vice versa.

Not vice-versa:
m364 will not work in Mavericks OS 10.9.x
Only m466 will work in Mavericks OS 10.9.x
m466 will also work in OS 10.6.8 / 10.8.5
